W0000t, thanks for the through analysis and the green plus! Onomatopoeia 19:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm expressing my concerns regarding this GA review. I felt that this article has passed the review even though it didn't meet the standards. First, notes and reference section should be merged. Reference #6 and #10 have no sources! Where did you obtain the information from? This article needs more varieties of references than the existing ones. I also found Image:RedMemshamrock.png lack of fair use rationales. Lead section should be summarized and shortened furthur. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:54, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Addressed your concerns. Fair use is written, the refs straightened out, but plz explain what should be cut from the lead without violating WP:LEAD. —Onomatopoeia 11:58, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Delisted GA

As my concerns are not addressed, the article will now be delisted. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 14:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Note that this delisting came without messaging WP:NBA, main authors User:Onomatopoeia (me), User:Chensiyuan and others, or WP:GA/R. See also Wikipedia:Editor_review/OhanaUnited. —Onomatopoeia 12:00, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

It is now on WP:GA/R. Onomatopoeia 12:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Red overseas

I didn't see it mentioned, but Red brought players overseas in the off-season and ran camps that helped establish basketball as an international game. Many of the coaches who later led their national teams studied at those camps.

Sorry, no references. I just remember reading about it in newspaper articles years ago.

[edit] Good Article Review

Article now in Good Article Review to appeal vs the GA retraction. Also it is a re-GAC. —Onomatopoeia 15:23, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I passed it, my one suggestion is that a good lead, as a summary, doesn't need a lot of refs.Sumoeagle179 02:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, it should not have been delisted in the first place w/o notifying the main authors for copyedit first. —Onomatopoeia 11:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US English, please

Please adhere to the fact that this an article about an American, so when editing, please use US English word spellings (i.e. honors as opposed to honours). --Jbossbarr 12:02 15 December 2007 (UTC)
